Chapter 8: Your Call
"What did you say?" Shuuhei asked incredulously. He knew exactly what she said, as did the rest of them.
Rukia just stood there as her calm was slowly dying. She turned towards her companions, and with a pleading look spoke, "How could you not tell me? How could you just let me keep seeing him without even saying one thing about it?!" Her voice was rising, "Just because I shouldn't remember, doesn't mean it's the fucking right thing to do!"
"Come on Ruk, you and I both know this can't happen. We can't stay here, so why the hell would we allow you to remember if you're just gonna fall apart again?!" Renji fought back trying to make her understand.
"You do realize that you're playing with my fucking mind, right?! You know how much I lo-" she frowned. "This is so damn messed up," she said drifting off as she looked away from every one of them. She felt disgusted.
"Damn it Rukia! Listen! We were looking out for you! We remember what you were like the day we came back to Soul Society five years ago. We didn't want to see you like that again. We were only trying to protect you!" Momo tried to reason with her.
Rukia became suddenly calm and looked back at the stage, keeping her gaze on the one person she would never let herself forget again. She spoke softly, not turning to aim her words at the shinigami that awaited her response. "But the one thing you don't seem realize is-" she paused, "if it meant just being able to see him one more time," she then looked at them with soft eyes and the slightest hint of a smile curving on her lips and finished, "it's worth every second." And with that, Rukia sprinted toward the direction of the stage, weaving in and out of people.
Everyone was too slow to react to her sudden movement. "Shit!" Renji yelled out. "Byakuya will kill us if she gets to him. I can't even imagine what he'll do to us if she actually makes him remember too!" Everyone started to run after her with that said.
All Rukia did was run. She wasn't going to be stopped. Her mind was swarming in memories. She thought of a time maybe a month before her departure.
"Ichigo, can you even play that? Or is it for decoration or something?" Rukia asked sarcastically pointing to a Gibson acoustic guitar leaning against his bedroom wall. She was lying on his bed on her stomach.
"Don't try changing the subject! Do I have to spell it out for you? Get-off-my-bed-now! How many times do I have to tell you damn it?" Ichigo responded with his hands on his on his hips, wearing his infamous scowl.
"Obviously you don't have to tell me anymore times. When have you told me to get off and I actually listened?" she asked with a smirk.
He stood there picking his brain for a time when she did.
"None, Ichigo. So you can save your breath," Rukia said getting more comfortable on his bed.
He gritted his teeth. Hearing this, she looked up at him and smirked in her triumph. "Okay, how about this. You play me something on that and I'll get up," she said knowing he would cave.
He hackled. "Yeah right. I could just as easily move you by force," he said crossing his arms over his chest.
She raised an eyebrow, "And get your ass beaten again? Doesn't sound like a good plan to me," Rukia said cockily.
"Like hell I'd let you kick my ass, midget!" he said yelling.
"Who said anything about letting me, fruit-boy?" she laughed as his face was filled with rage. "Okay, okay, I know. You could never hit me back, blah, blah, blah. Just play the damn instrument and you can have your damn bed back," Rukia said nonchalantly.
He glared at her, but it only ended in him huffing and retrieving the instrument from the side of his room. He pulled his desk chair closer to the bed, placed the guitar on his lap and looked up at her. "Don't get comfortable. By the time I play the last note, you better be off."
She rolled her eyes as she turned to lie on her stomach facing Ichigo now. "Come on! Sing too!" she said with excitement, which was evident from her violet eyes.
"Sing? The last time I sang in front of someone I was five and it was that stupid rhyme thing, 'Girls go to Jupiter to get more stupider. Boys go to college to get more knowledge.' Like hell I'm singing."
Rukia looked at him confused. "Jupiter?" she huffed and shook her head, getting rid of the thought. "I don't care when the last time you sang was! If you want me off this bed, you better sing for me," she said threateningly.
"But-" he said trying to get away from her command.
"No 'buts'!" Then her face fell into a face that said "If you don't do this I'm going to fall apart," and Ichigo, knowing that face all too well from Yuzu, couldn't turn it down.
"Alright, alright," he said receiving a cheer from the petit girl on his bed. He didn't know what was so exciting about hearing him play, especially sing for that matter. He took a deep breath, "I just want to tell you I might not be that good-"
He was cut off by Rukia leaning up to slam her hand on his mouth. His eyes went wide from this, but then he delivered a glare to her. "I don't want anything to come out of this mouth if it's not going to be sung. Now play," she said in more of a demanding tone. She plopped back down on his bed, resting her head on her hands that were propped up by her elbows.
He began to play. He hadn't played in years, but it felt like it was coming naturally.
Waiting for your call, I'm sick, call, I'm angry
call I'm desperate for your voice
Listening to the song we used to sing
In the car, do you remember
Butterfly, Early Summer
It's playing on repeat, Just like when we would meet
Like when we would meet
He was playing his guitar with emotion now and surprisingly felt comfortable enough to project his voice more as he went into the chorus.
I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
Rukia was shocked at the fact that he was talented in both playing and singing. She had a strange feeling in her stomach just from watching and listening to him.
Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh
I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh
Cause every breath that you will take
when you are sitting next to me
will bring life into my deepest hopes, What's your fantasy?
What's your,
What's your…
As he was singing he realized what this song was actually implying. He had a sudden hint of fear flood over him as he thought of what the words were saying. Plus the fact that he was singing only to her, wasn't helping. He hoped Rukia wouldn't read into it, but he would be lying if he said he didn't imagine what could happen if she did. Snapping out of his daydreaming, he focused back on the song.
I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
For the last chorus he let it all out. He was really into the music now. It felt good and he never really realized just how much he liked it.
And I'm tired of being all alone,
And this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
And I'm tired of being all alone,
And this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
He held the last word of the bridge and went into the chorus for the last time.
I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
He ended letting his fingers graze across the strings that were still vibrating. He was out of breath and continued to look down at his guitar as he tried to catch his breath.
He looked up straight into the eyes of the petit girl that was wordless. She didn't want to admit it, but like him, her breath was taken away. Unlike him though, hers was for a totally different reason.
"Ichigo has finally decided on wooing a lady. Today, I'm a proud father," Isshin was heard saying from the doorway before breaking down in tears of joy.
"Why doesn't anybody knock when they come into my room?!" Ichigo yelled in response to his entire family's eavesdropping. He threw a book that was on his desk at them while Rukia was still lying on his bed as her revelation occurred.
'That was the moment I noticed I was falling in love with him. I don't know when I started, but that's when I actually realized it.' She thought with a smile, as she continued to dodge through the crowd. 'I need to get to him.'
She was now only twenty feet from the stage and she spotted a familiar face that was only half that distance away. Her eyes grew wide, as did her lips. She now remembered her as well.
-Flashback-
"Rukia, what's wrong?" the gentle girl asked sitting down next to her on the park bench.
She looked up startled and quickly put up a façade. She smiled and replied, "There's nothing wrong. I'm just trying to enjoy the scenery. It's always been pretty around this time of year."
"Yeah, it is always pretty at this time, but don't try to pretend with me. I think we've grown pretty close to be able to tell if something is bothering each other," she said back in a calm tone.
Rukia sighed. "School has just been hard lately. It's really stressing me out."
"Yeah, has been pretty intense with all the exams. But that's not the main reason you came out here. Come on, talk to me."
Rukia looked down in her lap and then back up, "I-I, I feel like, like no matter how hard I try, or how long I stay. I'll never be apart of this world. That I'm always going to be just a visitor. And I know that it's true. I'm not human, Orihime. There's only so long that I can stay here." Her eyes were full of sadness.
The chestnut hair girl frowned but then smiled, "Even if you do leave, you always find your way back to us, Rukia. That's the main thing."
"There are only so many times I can keep coming back. There are only so many times I can take another farewell after another. That feeling of not knowing if I'll ever see the people I care about again gets harder and harder after each leaving."
"Rukia, I-I don't know what to say," Orihime said meekly.
Rukia smiled sadly, "There's nothing you can really say. It's just the way things are. I can't do anything about it."
Orihime then put a hand on Rukia's shoulder and smiled slightly, "Then the least you can do is let everyone know how much you care about them. So if that time comes, you'll know that you've done everything you could to be happy."
Rukia smiled in approval. She didn't expect that she could feel better in such a short period of time. She hurled herself at Orihime and hugged her tightly. Orihime was surprised, but quickly snapped back and hugged her in return. "Thanks Orihime."
"Just promise me one thing. Always remember us, even if you ever do have to leave for good. Always remember. Promise?" the girl asked sadly.
"Promise. I never break a promise. Nothing would stop me from remembering," Rukia said as she smiled back at her friend.
"Rukia!" A yell was heard coming towards them. The two girls parted and looked up.
"Rukia, I've been looking all over for you. Why the hell did you take off without telling anyone?" Ichigo said with Ishida following close behind.
The girls looked back at each other and Orihime gave an understanding look, "How about you start with him?" she said soft enough so only Rukia could hear. Rukia's eyes went wide from the fact of what Orihime had just told her. She stood up and walked over to Ichigo.
"I just needed time to breathe. Exams have nearly killed me," she said covering up her real reason.
Ichigo eyed her up, "You're weird." In response to his statement she dealt a hard kick to his shin. Making him hop around and start cursing.
Orihime just smiled softly. "Just don't wait too long, Rukia," she said to herself as Ishida started to walk toward her.
-End Flashback-
She was about to yell out the woman's name, but was grabbed by the arm and swung backwards into a hard body. Arms then wrapped around her waist and she was lifted up off the ground.
"Renji! Let go! I need to-" Rukia struggled to get loose.
"I'm sorry, Rukia. You can't," he said pulling her away backwards.
She continued to struggle until she finally decided to yell for the woman's attention. "Orihime! Orihime!"
After the second call, the said woman turned around. "Rukia?" she asked puzzled from the fact Renji was dragging her away. She then yelled louder, "Rukia!" She started to walk towards them as Renji continued to push through the crowd backwards.
"I never break a promise!" she yelled still struggling.
Orihime continued to walk after them, confused by her statement, until Rukia yelled it again. "I never break a promise!" Orihime immediately understood and started to run after them.
Orihime immediately felt something grow within her. It was like something filled a hole in her that had been empty for sometime. She then realized what it was. She had her powers back. But that wasn't what she needed to focus on right now.
'If she remembers, I'm not going to sit around and let her forget again!' Orihime thought. She ran and was zigzagging through the crowd. She then saw the other shinigami come from behind Renji. The crowd then moved and blocked her view and when she moved around them, they were gone. "No," she said softly. "Rukia!" she yelled, but she was gone. "I have to get Ichigo."
A song had just ended, and Ichigo was on stage drinking from a water bottle as Ishida was talking to him. Tatsuki and Chad were listening at well. Orihime took this as her chance. She ran on stage.
"Orihime, you're not supposed to be up here," Ishida said as she was breathing heavily from her running.
"I know, but this is urgent." She turned to Ichigo. "You have to go after Rukia, Ichigo. She's being taken away, not by her own freewill. Please, you're the only one who can save her," Orihime chose her words carefully. She couldn't just tell him everything. Who knows what would happen? He had to remember on his own. She tried using key phrases to help trigger something, but it was no luck.
He frowned in confusion, "I don't get it. What's going on again?"
She was getting irritated and she never got like that, so the band was shocked by her attitude. "Rukia needs you! So just come on! We're going after her!" she yelled, grabbing his wrist and dragging him along. The rest followed right behind her.
"Damn it! Let me go!" Rukia yelled as tears flew down her cheek.
"I'm sorry. This is the way it has to be," Renji said sadly, putting her down.
She looked around and recognized the place they had arrived at. It was that same place she left at way back, when she was being brought back to be executed. The same place she left at when she was being forced to forget everyone she grew to love. She couldn't help but notice this similarity.
"Can't you people pick a more creative spot to leave?!" she yelled out in frustration. This caused Byakuya, Unohana, Urahara and Yoruichi to turn and look at her from her outburst.
"Byakuya, we have to leave fast. Rukia regained her memory and I believe at least Orihime is chasing after us," Shuuhei said like he was reporting back with important information.
Byakuya's eyes widened as he turned to stare at Rukia who was still squirming in Renji's grasp. She locked eyes with him, allowing him to see her desire to run away from all of this. He frowned slightly, not being as simple to hide his emotions anymore.
He turned towards Urahara, "Begin to open the gate."
Urahara nodded and started the process. Within a matter of seconds, everyone's phone started beeping. "You have to be kidding me," Toushirou stated annoyed.
"But it's not even in the middle of the night yet. If its breaking its pattern already, is it really that wise to leave?" Momo questioned as everyone continued to look at their sensors.
"We don't have the option to stay, Momo," Renji answered.
Then they all lost their balance to some unidentified spirit pressure. It was stronger than they'd ever felt before.
"What the hell is that?" Shuuhei said, as Rangiku almost fell over but was caught by Shuuhei.
Then, in the blink of an eye, they were surrounded. "Well, isn't it a pleasant surprise to see you all again?" said a voice that no one thought they would ever hear again.
Ishida and Orihime were leading them. "How in the hell do you know where you're going?!" Ichigo yelled, not sure whether to trust in their judgment or go off on his own to find her.
The couple looked at each other and looked back in front. "If you want to see Rukia, we'll bring you there," Orihime replied.
Ishida continued, "Let's just say it's really good instinct." He would find out soon they could locate her by her reiatsu. Apparently the same time Orihime's powers returned, so did Ishida's Quincy powers.
The two leaders stopped suddenly. They felt a rush of power flow from the direction they were heading. They knew it wasn't from the shinigami though. They looked at each other with fear evident in Orihime's eyes. Ishida just nodded at her to imply that everything was going to be alright.
"Is everything alright?" Chad asked.
"Yeah. Let's hurry," Ishida answered.
When the five humans showed up to the desired location, they were taken back. A miniature battle was taking place. Everyone was fighting, some more than one opponent.
Chad and Tatsuki looked at each other and then back at the scene in front of them. They felt power flow through them. Not only that, but they felt lost memories being found. And with their revelation occurring, everyone jumped in and started to aid the shinigami. Everyone except the one who had no idea what was going on, but continued to watch: Ichigo.
Arrancar were fighting with shinigami. The main three former shinigami were each fighting without breaking a sweat.
Tousen was fighting both Renji and now Chad. Ichimaru was going up against Shuuhei and Momo. And Aizen was fighting Byakuya, Toushirou, Yoruichi and Urahara all at the same time. It was an amazing sight to see. He was taking on four Captains without getting a scratch on him.
Rangiku was fighting against Ulquiorra with the help of Orihime shielding her when needed. Ishida and Tatsuki went to take on Szayel.
Ichigo just stood there trying to absorb what was happening. His friends had just run into action and were fighting. They seemed to possess these strange powers as well…
His attention was then attracted to a one on one battle: Rukia versus Grimmjaw. She had the unlucky opportunity to fight alone against one of the most powerful arrancar. She could barely get an attack off due to his power and she was constantly defending and stumbling.
Without knowing how to react, he yelled her name, "Rukia!" She turned and stared at him, surprised in seeing him there. She was distracted though, and Grimmjaw wouldn't let a chance go by without taking it.
Ichigo seeing this, yelled again, "Rukia! Watch out!" She looked back and began to dodge, but was too late and his blade ripped into her side. She screamed out in pain. This scream seemed to trigger something in Ichigo because in seconds, he was dizzy. His vision was hazy and he felt like he was losing control of his body. His hands subconsciously moved to his face.
Rukia was in pain, but she quickly reacted in using her Sode no Shirayuki. "Dance," she said, allowing Grimmjaw to freeze right in his spot as he was about to deliver a fatal blow. She looked over at Ichigo and saw what was happening. Her eyes went wide. She couldn't let this happen. 'Ichigo could end up being more destructive than anyone here,' she thought.
Rukia began to lift herself up, disregarding the pain and blood pouring out of her. She limped over to him and grabbed his shirt to get his attention. "Ichigo! Don't give in! Listen to me! You're stronger than this!" She pulled him down closer to her, making his hands fall from his face and revealing black swarming through his amber eyes. "Come on Ichigo," she said softer.
He gripped her shoulders tightly, using her as a way to restrain himself. She winced in pain as it was a tight grip, after all. He began to scream from the transformation taking place that he was trying hard to prevent.
Rukia felt like she was going to pass out from the blood she was losing and the amount of energy she was using to stay strong for the man in front of her. She then reached up and placed her hands on the side of his head, forcing him to look straight into her eyes. "Please, Ichigo," she begged with pleading watery eyes. She then brought her face closer to his, allowing their lips to touch.
It felt like years had passed, but when they parted, Ichigo was looking back into her violet eyes, with his completely amber. He had a stern face on, which soon turned into a smile. Rukia let out air stored in her chest after realizing he was not going to change into his hollow form. Apparently just letting out that bit of air meant she was going to let out any strength she had left in her body. She collapsed.
Ichigo caught her before she hit the asphalt, but continued to lay her down on it. "Rukia! Damn! You're bleeding like hell!" he yelled looking at her severe wound.
She looked up, ignoring hs comment. "Tell me you remember," she stated breathing heavily.
"Remember? What do you mean?" he asked confused. He wanted to help her, not talk.
"Even when my mind forgets, my heart will remember," Rukia said as if it was etched into her soul. She knew that he would know exactly what she was saying if he truly remembered.
He looked at her, trying to absorb what she said. "I guess it's true that people really do get profound when they are going through something traumatic," he said almost to himself.
Rukia let out a breath of air. Disappointment ran through her like a running stream. Her heart recoiled at his remark. He still hadn't returned to her. She had returned to him, he just didn't know that yet.
He shook her gently to grab her attention. "Rukia, what can I do?" His face was begging for an answer. "How do I save you?" The question seemed so unreal. He wanted to save her again, even when he still didn't know the truth.
She shook her head. He couldn't save her. He was only human. She opened her closed eyes and stared into him. "Ichigo," she said, hoping he would get the hint that he couldn't do anything.
"No! Don't you dare give up on me! Tell me what I can do Rukia!" he said as if his own life depended on it.
She looked up in realization. She hesitated, knowing she would be committing the same crime she did some odd years ago. "You," she paused. "You truly want to save me?" she asked, not wanting to resort to this.
He moved his hand so that his was on top of hers, "Tell me."
She reached over and grabbed her zanpaktou. She pointed it up to his chest, which made him jump slightly. "I promise you'll be alright. Can you trust me?" she asked drenched in seriousness.
He looked at the zanpaktou and back up to meet her eyes again. He grabbed the blade of the sword and pulled it up more towards him. He smirked, "It's your call."
With a quick thrust, her zanpaktou went through Ichigo. He was now standing there, spiritual energy flaring. Grimmjaw had apparently just broken free and he realized that he had a new, but past opponent. He sprinted towards him and Ichigo just stood there as his mind was racing.
He saw flashes of past battles. To his surprise, he was in them. He saw countless opponents, and countless attacks. He didn't know, but in a stitch in time, he had learned fighting techniques. One technique stood out from all the others.
When his sight found its was back to the present, he saw Grimmjaw only meters away from him and immediately pulled up his zanpaktou to block. When the swords clashed, he noticed something extraordinary had happened. The sword in his hands was not the one he had originally taken from Rukia. It was his Zangetsu. He looked at it with surprise, but recognized it somehow. He then looked up at Grimmjaw and smirked with mischief in his eyes.
"What are you smiling about?" his opponent asked annoyed.
"Ban-kai!" Ichigo yelled. And with that, he transformed. He was wearing his more slender long-sleeved, ankle-length black coat with his now black zanpaktou. They began to clash their zanpaktous. Dodging and charging. Ichigo was taken back by the quality of his skill. He didn't have any idea of where it all came from, but it just felt like instinct.
Rukia watched as they moved at incredible speeds. He didn't remember everything, but at least he knew how to fight. She turned to see that everyone else was still going at it. Everyone had wounds somewhere on them, whether it was a scratch on the cheek or a gash on their arm. She could see the exhaustion in her allies.
Her attention flew back to Ichigo as she heard a yelp. Zangetsu was now straight through Grimmjaw's abdomen. Ichigo yanked his sword from Grimmjaw allowing his body to fall to the ground in defeat.
Ichigo just stood still letting the wind blow his coat in the air. He tried to catch his breath. He then looked over to see Rukia still on the ground holding her side. He ran towards her using shunpo. He swiftly bent down and picked her up bridal style. She was surprised from his fast movements, but moved her arms so that she had them wrapped around his neck. His spiritual energy was flowing through her.
Ichigo then looked up to see all fighting had stopped. The shinigami were all on the ground looking up on a short building about twenty yards away. Their opponents stood there with amused faces.
Aizen stood with a smile plastered on his face, "Congratulations Kurosaki. Although I did always believe Grimmjaw was a bit too arrogant for his own good."
Ichigo only replied with a glare.
"I'm sure you're all wondering how exactly we are here, or alive for that matter. Well, let's just say we went in hiding ever since the shinigami thought it would be a good idea to leave the living world, along with purging this town from any spiritual powers. How could we ever obtain the one hundred thousand souls necessary for creating the royal key if the spiritual energy has been taken away? But it seems you finally returned and everyone has gained some power back. The day for this town to disintegrate is approaching. I thought it to be polite to forewarn. Since it looks like we're though here, allow me to say, 'adieu.'" And with him finished, a gate opened behind them.
Toushirou went to go after them, but was stopped by Momo's hand grabbing his arm. He couldn't take them on now. He was injured, along with his allies. They all stared as Aizen's smiling face disappeared through the gate.
"Damn it!" Shuuhei yelled slamming his zanpaktou into the ground.
Byakuya turned to Yoruichi and Urahara. "We need to send a message to Soul Society now," Byakuya said receiving nods from the two in front of him. They began to march off to their vacant apartment.
Ichigo looked down to the woman in his arms. Her head was leaning against his chest and he could feel and hear her breathing heavily. He looked around to see Renji holding his leg with Tatsuki inspecting it. Momo was seen worrying about Toushirou as blood was seen seeping through his clothes around his chest. Rangiku was holding her arm as she tried to stop the bleeding. Shuuhei was trying to aid her. Chad was knocked unconscious apparently and Ishida was trying to wake him up. Orihime came running over to Ichigo.
"Lay her down, Ichigo," she said in a rush.
"Huh?" he asked in confusion. "We don't have time for that. She has to get to a hospital!" he said in urgency.
"I can help her, just lay her down," she said trying to convince him.
Her face was begging him to trust her. He took the chance and slowly let her onto the cold asphalt. Her limp body barely reacted to this. The blood loss was increasing. "Step back," Orihime commanded.
He obeyed and saw a yellow glow illuminate around the two woman. He was shocked, "Orihime?"
"She's going to be okay, Ichigo," she turned her head to look at him. "She's going to be fine."
He couldn't believe this. One of his closest friends held such a secret from him. Minutes passed as Ichigo tried to grasp what had occurred there that night. He witnessed his friends command powers and fought against things that weren't human. He had no idea what was real or what was a dream.
"She needs rest. I have to go take care of the others. Can you handle everything from here?" Orihime asked, knowing he would agree.
"Thanks. I got it covered," he said as he took off in the direction of his apartment.
He slowly placed her onto his bed moving her slightly to make sure she wouldn't be left in an awkward or uncomfortable position. He began to walk away until he felt his arm being grabbed. He looked at the small hand wrapped around his forearm and then up to its owner's face.
"Stay. Please. Stay with me tonight," Rukia said, forcing the words out of her mouth. The words she said once again, reminding her of the first song he ever sang to her.
Ichigo blinked a few times, but then relaxed. He smiled softly and nodded. He pulled up a chair and sat by the side of the bed, watching her breathe in a regular pace now. He reached over and held her hand, in which Rukia accepted immediately to his touch. She then swiftly fell asleep.
He looked upon her face as her eyelids slightly fluttered from seeing her dreams. She had saved him from something horrible, that much he did know. Everything else was still a mystery. But right then, at that moment, he was fine with that - as long as he knew she was going to be alright. And with that thought, he drifted into a dream, but he still wasn't sure the events of that night weren't one already.
'Cause every breath that she took when she was sitting next to him, will bring life into his deepest hopes…'

I don't know, I just felt like the chorus of the song he sang in the flashback went well with the ending of this chap, so I quoted it. Well, I guess we'll see what's going to happen next, huh? I know! But, yeah, do what you got to do – review! And that's it! Later
